Extra! Extra! Wii News Released!

Despite giving us a press release that says it would launch tomorrow, Nintendo has just released the News Channel. This makes me happy. Now I can check all the news and weather I want around the world, and my Wii Channel browser doesn’t have an annoying “Coming Soon” block in it. I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out, since I was kind of in a rush this morning, but Chris says it’s pretty nice. You can view all the news based on location down to a specific city. All of the news is provided by the AP. With its release, Nintendo completes the initial lineup of functionality for the launch window. I guess the big question is what’s next? There are some rumors about an original games channel.
